Makes sense. Thanks. I'd subscribed to all the -dev lists and downloaded all the archive messages from jakarta.apache.org/mail/**. I found it that if PMC situation would be squared away, PMC list could take over the place for committer votes, too. I had a stats of the contributors' messages and sometimes felt "I do want to vote him/her in to XX subproject if I were a committer of this (sub)project" where I am not a committer nor a PMC Member. (So, I often did "non-binding" votes -- +1 to excellent persons ... Right? >> Adam @ gump) I think you folks can choose the appropriate persons for the jakarta-committership, granted you won't hold Committer votes in public. -- I remember that one of the ASF members has already invented nice voting machine program @ minotaur (wrapper program for qmail, if i remember correctly) -- Maybe you/we will be able to make use of it (Then, PMC list's traffic won't be increased). Hope this helps. Cheers, -- Tetsuya.
